Dress up clothes... pocket change, old rusty farm props... free (well, I guess you could factor in the cost of rent)Sunday afternoon of great pics and memories....PRICELESS!!

my teenage daughter's shop Gypsy teardrop

My Millie Kate (age 13) has opened her very own etsy shop. I am very proud of her! Her pieces are so sweet, I love the way she has "named" each of them...pretty, poetic...

If you are on etsy, and you have a chance, will you help me encourage her by maybe marking one of her pieces...or maybe even her shop a favorite....Thank you, friend. And if you are in the market for something unique, handmade with love, and reasonably priced...consider a purchase! You would make her day...probably her week ;) And you won't be disappointed ...her handmade jewelry is simply lovely.

You overwhelm my days with good!

Last night's sunset brought these words to mind "You overwhelm my days with good, your wondrous love will never let me go." Click and listen to this song if ya have a moment...you won't be sorry you did. Here's an idea...listen to this song while looking through your own family pics on the computer. Sometimes, we just need a reminder of God's goodness to us ;) I knowthat yesterday I did....

Tonight's beautiful sunset brought to you by...God.

This is my "creation" for the July challenge for More paper than shoes. Check out the MPTS forum- challenges- July Challenge. There are other creative challenges too! What a fun way to create and make new art friends! I am loving MPTS!! Still learning how to navigate the forum though. Never have participated in a forum before. Adding this pic for instance was kind of tricky. New art friends, new art creations, new challenges, phew!! It's been a week for me ;)
